What is this connector? [SOLVED] (sh.itjust.works)

I have a project I'm doing where a small hobby board has connectors for different things, including LEDs. I don't want to use the original LED strip, and would like to make a single LED that plugs into the board instead, but I don't know how to identify/find this connector. Can anyone help?

It looks to me like a JST SH connector: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/retired/10357

Measure the distance between the two pins - if it is 1 mm, this is most likely the connector you're looking for.
